5 months ago by annascottmiller It took me a while . . It was needed. It was needed to be a student, to recharge my battery, to fuel up . And honestly I think there is no better way then spend it with like minded people, people you can play and have fun with, this sangha here, this family #essenceoflife . This weekend was a good weekend! A beautiful villa, a pool, sun, surf beaches, Bali vibes, food and a group of amazingly beautiful souls . Together is better! Not only with your partner, but also with friends, people that lift you up, got your back and make you laugh so hard you have muscle ache in the cheeks . Laugh marks deeply engraved on the face and in the heart. This weekend was a solid ace and one for in the books . Thank you!! With a special one to my favorite @hansbusker . . . #bestweekend #bettertogether #likemindedpeople #balivibes #balilove ☀️ #feelinglucky #playing #havingfun #urdhvamukhapaschimottanasana #seventhseries #whatreallymatters

4 months ago by annascottmiller We did it . . We stopped the car, got out, walked through the dry, fresh cut hay and climbed on the hay bale Some of us with help . . Wanted to do this ever since I was a child #bucketlist & little Ruby monkey @rubycycles got me to just do it . . Turned out to be fun! It moves, so balance is extra challenging. We even made the perfect selfie in just one go, swipe right to see . . Super fun mini holiday Back in the woods, perfect Airbnb in Barbizon, one day of doing nothing, good food and 3 days of playing on the boulders of #foretdefontainebleau . . But the company made it all! So effortless to be around these creatures, lots of laughs, craziness, activity, like-mindedness, doing your own thing and stimulating each other, love it! Love them . . Oh, and yes my spark for #bouldering got ignited again . . #iamonahaybale #weareonahaybale #perfectselfie #hayfun #bettertogether #friends #withthebest #bouldering #miniholiday #vivelafrance #fontainebleau #silentorgasms #bijonsinbarbizon
3 months ago by annascottmiller chaturanga dandasana . . A powerful movement in plank position 55 times each day, if you practice the full primary series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga . . Ashtanga is not alignment based. Well, actually it is! Internal alignment that is. It’s about connecting to the breath, your breath. Which connects you to the present moment. With what is going on, possible, needed and right in that moment. Fully present, fully aware . . At least, you try as much as possible. If you noticed you’re drifting off, you direct yourself back to the breath, to what is. Right now. So you are aligned. Internally activated with the bandhas, focus inward, body and mind merged by the breath . . On the exhale you move down from plank position. Or you land straight in it from a jump back. Depends on your internal alignment I’d say . . It’s easy to create a pattern if you repeat this 55 times a day, 6 days a week. I’d say it’s important to stay very conscious and aware to protect yourself and invest in some knowledge about the different ways to execute it and what suits your build and body . . There is no one size fits all, but repetitively doing the same movement can have a lot of impact. Very empowering if done in a safe way! . . Check @kinoyoga @wellness_yogini & @omstarsofficial for options to train towards it, as this is day 1 of their #ashtangahomepracticechallenge #chaturangadandasana #repetativemovement #stayconscious #besafe #movesafely #internalalignment . .

2 months ago by annascottmiller home practice . . First video was last week, 2nd exactly 1 year ago Both practices where outside, only did the tic-tocs inside. Because I need a bit of help . . Most often I practice in the shala with my dear teachers and astanga community. It can really help. The energy, the adjustments, the guidance . . Lately, and while traveling, I practice more at home. The most difficult part for me is to start. If I manage to step on my mat, it’s most of the time ok, although it’s also easier to get distracted . . Receiving and asking for help can be very powerful and needed, but it’s very valuable to be all by yourself at times. Just you, no other bodies, practices, processes to see and feel. Just to focus on yourself on your own . . Some of us don’t even have the privilege to live close to their teacher. That sense of being in it together, wherever in the world, is very powerful to tap into. That self inquiry is valuable for yourself, but also for your surroundings . . Doesn’t mean it always has to be very physical like this. For me it’s a very challenging road, the backbends. It’s not always nice and fun. But that’s what makes it interesting. Just like sitting to meditate isn’t always easy and fun . . What about you? Where and what do you practice and what do you prefer? . . #homepractice #tictocs #ashtangayoga #allbymyself #backbends #itsaprocess #ashtangahomepracticechallenge @kinoyoga @omstarsofficial @wellness_yogini
4 months ago by annascottmiller I am getting old . . At least, I hope so. Last weekend I gained another year to the list of years I’ve spent in this body. Considered old for some, young for others. Doesn’t really matter . What matters is how I spend & celebrate this life and with whom. Connection is what I consider most valuable and some epic laugh sessions now and then . For me it’s actually not so much about how old I get. More about how long I can stay young. And also this can differ depending on your perspective . Is it how young your body is and how it functions or is it how free your mind is? Lately I am mainly focusing on the last one, while it was always the body before . Kind of also have to. Although I am still training and using this vehicle I was given, it’s the mind that needs to care for and love it. Even if it’s not capable of what I would like to or what it’s supposed to . Forever changing. Especially as we get older. Natural process probably that we kind of have to shift more to how we look at it instead of what we look like . Accepting the less nice things & parts about myself is what I am working on at the moment. Challenging and freeing. But with people I can love, who support me, got my back, love me and I can laugh with, it’s all good. That’s what life’s about, right? . . #thankyoufriends #newandold @marlobenj @hiddenhillsvillas #sunsetwithfriends #treasuremoments #playing #handstand #straddlehandstand #travelling #travel #balisunsets #balivibes #balilove

2 weeks ago by annascottmiller Gracieus vallen . . Daarvoor moet je eerst heel vaak vallen, leren vallen. Dat vind ik moeilijk. Ten minste, niet uit een handstand. Niet meer. Dat heb ik vroeg geleerd, toen je nog letterlijk leerde met vallen en opstaan. En daarom kan ik nu ook met plezier de handstand oefenen . . Maar met andere dingen ga ik liever niet op m’n bek. Blijf ik in controle, doe ik het liever niet dan dat ik mogelijk zou falen. Die angst houd me tegen om te groeien of meer, om mijn potentie echt te laten zien en te kunnen delen . . Zo kom ik misschien niet altijd over. Maar de laatste jaren merk ik dat ik in een soort comfort zone terecht ben gekomen. Vooral op professioneel gebied. Vaak heb ik superleuke ideeën en ben ik helemaal enthousiast! Dan komt puntje bij paaltje en denk ik: “Laat maar, iemand anders doet dit vast al en waarschijnlijk veel beter”. En dat klopt natuurlijk . . Er is altijd iemand beter, leuker, mooier, slimmer of creatiever. Maar er zijn ook altijd mensen die wel wat hebben aan mijn kennis en ervaring. Beide zijn waar. Maar waar leg je de focus en aandacht op. Dat is wat het verschil maakt . . Dus ik ga nu voor de 2de! Zondag 8 december geef ik een HANDSTAND & ARM BALANCE WORKSHOP bij @beautifulyoga .amsterdam Een aantal hebben hier naar gevraagd en het duurde even voordat ik een top plek en moment had gevonden en dus uit mijn comfort zone stapte . . Ook organiseer ik volgend jaar weer een yoga retraite, ga ik online het een en ander aanbieden en ga ik eigen opleidingen ontwikkelen. Nu moet het wel, want het staat zwart op wit . . De workshop is voor elk niveau. We beginnen
1 month ago by annascottmiller Are you down or up for it? . . As the season changes so do our bodies. Right? At least mine tents to be more cold, less fluidity in the joints & movement and it feels more stiff . . That and the often rainy and colder weather makes it harder for me to get up early for practice, get up from the cough to go bouldering or even go out of the house at night . . Although when I do, it makes me feel so much better!! Especially a bit more fire to get the inside warm and to be able to keep the heart open instead of only crunching in to protect against the cold . . Every Monday night I teach #athleticflow at @hot .flow.yoga which is the perfect workout to hit all the target areas! Get the heartbeat up with the HIIT parts, train the muscles, warm the body from the inside out & actively recover during the yoga flows where we slow down the heartbeat, lengthen the muscles and train balance . . Balance for the body and the mind. It’s fun, mindful and playful! You’ll walk out energized & satisfied . . In yoga we physically often miss out on agility & impact training. For the muscles, the attachments, the fascia & cardiovascular very healthy and aging delaying . . While in HIIT or other sport minded workouts we often miss out in taking care of our boundaries, listening what really happens in the body and what is needed. So that self awareness and body consciousness . . That’s why this is the best of both worlds in just 1 hour! My colleagues @mireillewortel @sportstudio79 & @bob .de.jong are also teaching it weekly. Check them out . . And, the second Dutch @athleticflow .ch teacher training
